DuckfanDownUnder    Saturday, Dec 5, 2009, 02:11:07 PM  A story well thought through.
Greg93    Saturday, Dec 25, 2010, 07:29:07 PM  Όλες οι ιστορίες του Barks είναι σίγουρα για 7 και πάνω, και αυτή αξίζει το δεκάρι μόνο για το σενάριο!
eleanore-clo    Saturday, Jun 16, 2012, 12:26:01 PM  J'ai hésité entre 8/10 et 9/10.
Le mélange des ingrédients est en effet savoureux.

willem    Monday, Nov 5, 2012, 06:17:04 PM  Excellent artwork, for sure a top 20 story
Fihalho    Monday, Jan 6, 2014, 04:51:40 PM  Gute Barks Geschichte, aber nicht Top 20 !
William Wayne    Sunday, Jul 19, 2015, 09:50:59 PM  Excellent story and animation

You can see the author restraining the typical variations of funny expressions on the faces of his characters, just in order to enforce the dark atmosphere. This is one of his masterpieces.

XGorthanX    Thursday, Jul 7, 2016, 05:53:18 PM  This is the most fascinating Bark's story, maybe not appreciated by fans enough.
odin    Thursday, Jul 21, 2016, 04:34:25 PM  the story was full of suspense and mistery, unfortunately the ending was dissappointing. after the octopus showed up i was expecting a dark story with a murderous villain. unfortunately the ducks were never in danger because the armored man just wanted to chase them away. what starts as thriller story degennerate into cartoon gag when ducks tried in many ways to save huey only to be foiled by the armored man in simple ways.
The old castle's secret is much better because the imposter had no qualms about leaving the ducks trapped with no food or drinks

tonkduck    Saturday, Nov 4, 2017, 08:22:14 PM  One of my favourite Donald stories. Great atmosphere and suspense. One of Barks darker comics, even if the ending part is, of course, more tame. 9/10
Rid    Tuesday, Mar 12, 2019, 02:24:34 PM  One of Barks darkest comics. Early masterpiece.
tregua78    Thursday, Dec 17, 2020, 12:36:50 AM  Un Barks d'annata confeziona un'ottima storia con un finale a sorpresa ben congeniato.
marioandreaaldeghi    Monday, Jan 4, 2021, 11:58:17 AM  Per me la storia più sopravvalutata di Barks. E' una gran bella storia, ma non da top 100! Anche se ci sono molte battute molto divertenti, tipo Peste mi colga! 8,5/10

For me the most overrated Barks's story. It's a great story, but not top 100! Although there are many very funny sentences, like Plague catch me! 8.5 / 10
RobinHoodlum    Tuesday, Apr 26, 2022, 03:57:00 PM  As a young boy, this was the scariest, most ominous duck comic I’ve read to that point, and that hasn’t changed much at all. As some other reviewers here have pointed out, the ending, besides being quite funny, feels a bit to short. Imagine how great this could’ve been if it was a 32-pager! 9/10
xShinatox    Monday, Oct 3, 2022, 03:45:45 PM  J’adore cette histoire mais elle me fait encore peur aujourd’hui…
Step88    Wednesday, Jan 4, 2023, 07:21:19 AM  Great mystery story. Very scary. Plenty of action and nice finish.
atobibas1    Friday, Oct 13, 2023, 09:13:15 AM  A really good story with really good art. Although I find the silhouetted look to be a little overused in this one. The story isn't the most logical, but it's still a really enjoyable read. - 8/10
